Our Life Is Very Good

Story by Steve Little, author of children?s stories and railroad histories. Illustrations by Lydia Orange, college freshman and first-time illustrator. What?s it like in the twenty-first century to live in a Central American village so small and remote that it doesn?t even appear on many maps? What?s it like for a family of seven to live in a small two-room house with no electricity, no inside running water, and no glass windows? A visitor on a mission team from North Carolina spoke with a girl in La Gracia, Belize on her 11th birthday. Read her amazing, powerful, and inspiring words. You will look at your own life and conditions in a different way. You may even want to do more than you ever thought about before.
